About 20 years ago, Bangladesh became the first nation on Earth to ban single-use plastic bags. Since then, plastic pollution has actually gotten worse. In an effort to find a biodegradable replacement, the government turned to jute, a cash crop that's grown here for centuries. Can one scientist bring more of this "golden fiber" to a country drowning in plastic?

Bhai, this is your gold. Don't worry about the higher costs. It will eventually come down when we scale. I am from India. I would be very much interested in investing if I can find partners. You can easily earn ~$5 -$7 billion just from Indian market if this is successful. And if you can export it to the rest of the world you will easily become Saudi Arabia of South Asia.I can see potential of ~ $100 billion over a long term.

In Bangladesh, plastic and polythene bags have been banned since 2001/02. In those years, the law was enforced widely and so forth, the usage of polythene bags were reduced drastically. So far I remember, polythene bags were socially discouraged or prohibited for around one decade. Probably, plastic industries started negotiations with the government to relax the law enforcement against plastic bag usages. But, in recent years, I see people have started using it everywhere again without hesitations. Main attraction is plastic's low price and social responsibility is only lavishness.

@daemenoth 5 месяцев назад

This is incredible, seems quite similar to the plastics made from seaweed. I wonder how they stack up as far as strength and durability against each other. One thing is sure the jutte products are more suitable for areas that are inland and the seaweed has its benefits of not needing land, fertilizer or irrigation or fresh water and seaweed can also be grown along side baskets of shellfish hanging underneath that can also eat bits of the seaweed that float off into the water. These eco technologies and symbiosis methods are starting to get really interesting!

I strongly suspect that seaweed bags and these jute bags are exactly the same thing. A fiberous material dissolved, mixed with a resin and then poured out as a film. I also suspect that the film those bags are made out of are much thicker than the film of your average plastic bag which would make them being stronger not at all surprising. I also strongly suspect that you could use pretty much any fibrous material for that process with no discernable difference in quality. Straw or woodchips come to mind as other material. And this might be a little blasphemous for some people, but i'm pretty sure the strength of the material has very little to do with the fibrous material used for the billboard and much more to do with the resin used to bind the material together. I also suspect that the fibous material actually weakens the material. Using just the resin would probably be much stronger (though far more expensive).

@Hereford1642 4 месяца назад

When I was young, all the bottles were glass and you paid a small deposit on each bottle. When you returned the empty bottle you got the deposit back and the bottles were collected by the shop and the delivery lorry took them away to be washed and re-used. They still have these deposits in Germany. The system worked well because kids would collect discarded bottles instead of smashing them because they had a value. I must admit that I sometimes drank more lemonade than I actually wanted just so I could take the bottle back and get some sweets. When I was 18 (1978) I happened to work for a while as a night service cleaner in the local cider manufacturer and part of my job was to clean out the huge automatic bottle washing machine ready for the next day. All their bottles are plastic now.

Yea that "secret" sauce is all in likelyhood sodium sulphite/sulfate, that is widely used in pulp mills to extract cellulose from the rest such as lignin, in paper industry. They might use recycled plastic or just new plastic as 30% of that mass, since jute was only 70% in those new bags. What part of their "jute bag" leaves ashes? If they removed all other stuff exept cellulose I mean, then there must be some other alkaline chemicals in it that leaves ash behind in the 30% of something else such as binders. Cellulose itself does burn all to x amount of CO2 and y amount of H2O.

I wonder if bag are the solution to actually scaling up. I know this might seem odd, but the material is a polymer so it could be used as a plastic replacement. So i argue that they sould start with something that could work on a local infrastructure scale, namely packing material. Those large air filled plastic bags or something similar to bubble wrap might generate more investment as companies use these all the time and on rather predictable scales. This would allow the client to roadmap a plan and generate investment into a larger plant.

This could be more tear durable than PP plastic bags when dry - since it is probably a composite material from what i heard in the video - the cellulose fibers probably form the reinforcement while the "natural polymer" is used as the matrix and therefore bonds the reinforcement. Question is if the "natural" polymer is indeed biodegradable once it is extracted from wherever they get it or if it is just another plastic resin that shreds into tiny microplastic pieces that then pollute the environment. The big competitor of this product is not really PP plastic bags (those still do not have a strong alternative from what can be discerned in the video), but paper bags, since the product dissolves fairly quickly in water as mentioned in the video, similarly paper is weakened by water.

This would be awesome if this bag did take over for the plastic bag but sadly I don't see it happening. Because most companies care about making money than anything else so that bag is even one penny higher than going to buy it. I personally like the idea of getting away from single-use plastic items. I live in the United States and even when we drive down the road gargo fishing or something like that you see plastic it is a serious problem everywhere.

too bad corporations dont give a shit about that, and they're the ones who choose to package everything in plastic. until we find something cheaper, or impose a hefty plastic tax, absolutely nothing will change.

I myself am a farmer's son from Bangladesh. Day by day the amount of cultivation is decreasing. The main reason for this is that it has to be sold at a much lower price than the cost of production.

@al6243 5 месяцев назад

Someone gets it. Plastic is just far too energy efficient. Frankly the only way this jute product could replace plastic is if companies are willing to change into this. But unfortunately, nearly all companies prioritize profit above everything else. So I don't see them all choosing this more expensive material, no matter how much more eco-friendly it is.

@user-xe8oi5oq6c 5 месяцев назад

Very nice invention!!! I wish him prosperity! Strong reusable bags imho are the key! Paper bags suck! They are impractical and get torn very quickly. They are instantly destroyed during rain. Single use thin plastic bags mostly are too weak for reuse. Thus we throw them away frequently. The jute bags seem to be the best alternative as they are strong for multiple time use and finally biodegradable. It's better to throw away 1 worn strong jute bag once per month than 30 weak plastic bags once per day. Finally jute one will even cost 3 times less than 30 plastic ones. I'd improve their water resistance to avoid tearing of bags during rain.

@Chimel31 5 месяцев назад

This looks much more biodegradable than regular cellulosic bioplastics that still represent a large part of the plastics found in the oceans today. Unfortunately, easy biodegradability may be its biggest drawback, as they apparently dissolve in contact with water in 30 minutes. Regardless, we should ban most plastic and bioplastic bags and use reusable bags instead, preferably made from cellulose-based bioplastic or fibers. The 30% of non-jute material that make up this bioplastic is probably acetic acid, acetone or other chemicals that probably don't make the bag very green. I actually would much prefer jute fiber bags, no plastics involved. I have 3 of these, and they are much tougher. I also have a few 50 years old potato jute bags for many usages, from crop harvesting to doormat and cat bedding. There are other cellulosic fibers we can use in European climates, like hemp or linen. Even nettles, but also the newly introduced miscanthus. Such herbaceous plants with a yearly harvest seem preferable to cellulose from trees, even with quick growing trees.

Awesome video! I think with PLASTIC prices climbing due to PETROLEUM prices fairly high, that companies will eventually see the writing on the wall and make the more Eco-friendly switch to biodegradable alternatives. But this could be expedited if national laws were implemented.
